She was annoyed boyfriend kept checking his phone on their date. When she saw what was on his phone, she realized he was a walking 'green flag'

For one woman, a quiet dinner during a vacation with her boyfriend took an unexpected turn when he suddenly stopped mid-meal to check his phone. The couple, who share their lives with a playful blue Italian greyhound named Romy, had left their pup behind for a short break. But even during their romantic getaway, something pulled the man’s attention back, right in the middle of dinner.

As reported by Newsweek, the woman had originally been eager to get a dog, but her boyfriend quickly grew attached to Romy. Now, the pup is part of nearly everything they do, from beach outings to boat rides, as seen on her Instagram page @iggy.romy. Still, the couple decided to take a vacation without their furry companion, hoping for some quiet time away. One evening, they went out for a special dinner. Just when everything seemed set for a peaceful night, her boyfriend took out his phone and began smiling at the screen.

In a video shared to Instagram on September 23, 2025, the woman explained how she had expected the evening to be just the two of them. Instead, her boyfriend broke their no-distractions rule to do what he called a “pup-check.” He had pulled up the live pet camera feed to see Romy back at home, unable to resist checking in. While it might have seemed like an interruption, the woman turned to social media to ask if others saw it as a sweet gesture, and instantly, everyone agreed he was a green flag through and through.

The post gained over 102K views and more than 3,400 likes since being posted online, with commenters overwhelmingly calling the moment a clear sign of love and care. Many praised the boyfriend’s attention toward the dog. @andrewdelecuonauk wrote, "It’s a massive green flag. Your babies will be loved." @rickaroni18 expressed, "Green flag x 1000." While @jojomomo603 added, "I see absolutely nothing wrong here." It’s not the first time pets have stolen the spotlight in a love story.

Another couple’s furry companion helped make their moment magical. A Reddit user revealed how his friend pulled off a clever way to propose to his girlfriend. When the woman returned home and was greeted by her beloved cat, she noticed something unusual hanging from the pet’s collar. To her surprise, it was an engagement ring. What seemed like a normal day quickly turned into one she would never forget, thanks to her boyfriend’s thoughtful plan.

The man had come up with a creative way to propose by including the one she loved just as much, her cat. Knowing Talula, her Ragdoll cat, always greeted her at the door, he carefully attached the engagement ring to the cat’s collar just before she arrived home. The idea came from his desire to make the moment meaningful and personal, knowing how close his girlfriend was to her pet. The plan worked perfectly; she found the ring and said, "Yes."
